Preparation
Step 1
YOU WILL NEED A DOUGHNUT SHAPED CAKE MOULD.
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Whisk eggs briefly with a fork.
Step 2
Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl.
Add the eggs, a little at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 3
Fold in the flour and cocoa powder until evenly coloured.
Dollop evenly into the two halves of the mould.
Step 4
Cook for 20 mins until well risen, it bounces back when lightly prodded, and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Step 5
Leave to cool if it's in a silicone mould (removing before cold will encourage it to stick!), then sandwich together with the jam.
Step 6
Melt the chocolate in a microwave.
Leave to cool to room temperature, but not to the extent that it begins to set in the bowl.
Step 7
Spoon the chocolate on top of the cake, allowing it to gently run down the sides of the doughnut.
Generously top with sprinkles.
This cake will keep for up to 1 week if you keep it in an airtight container.
